Use of NI6711 card.

How I have asked before, i need generate four signal:

1) One sine- wave signal from 0 to -4 Volt, and frequency less than 100 KHz.
2) One trigger signal, amplitude 10 V, frequency 3200 Hz and pulse- width from 1 to 10 micro Seconds.
3) Two trigger signal, amplitude 5V, frequency 0.4 Hz and pulse- width 20/70 mS in opposite phase.
4) Two square wave signal amplitude 5V, frequency 2 KHz, in opposite phase.

For this application I have thought an Ni6711, used at follow mode:
One of four analog output to generate the first signal.
One other of three free analog output to generate the second signal.
Two of 8 digital I/O for generate the signal at the third point.
The counter/timers output to generate the two signal at the point four.


But Felipe in his answer (tanks Felipe) sayng that regarding my third signal requirement,
I need to have two more counters to do that. He saying that because, the digital lines
of that board don't have strobed, operation capability.

My new ask is that:

Can I use for generate the signal at the third point the two remainder free analog output?
in stead of two of 8 digital I/O?

Tanks.

Hello;

You can do that. As the frequency of the pulse train you need is not high, you can rely on the Analog Output channels to accomplish that. That is a good idea.
